Zusammenfassung
Within the universe of the so called minoritarian religions in the Canaries, we can now find some of them originary from Africa, but mostly coming through the migration processes Afro-Cuban religions, have been developed in recent years in the islands, settling in areas as diverse as novel (shops, entertainment venues, internet websites, newspapers, tv). The way in which knowledge, symbols and objects move through physical and virtual space is a key issue. We can thus understand the different circumstances in which some choose to take the path of Afro-Cuban cults and become a saint in order to deal with the difficulties and uncertainties of their journeys. The altars are never at rest and integrity of the sacred and the profane, the converts inhabit.
